Jon Garcia picks up the thread from his first "The Falls" movies and completes the trilogy with "The Falls: Covenant of Grace," a sweet, satisfying conclusion to an epic, and spiritually troubled, same-sex relationship. “The fact that The Falls became a trilogy at all is a surprise to even me, and even more surprising was the innate need I had to finish it,” said director Garcia. “Though I’m a little sad I’ll never work on another one of these movies, I think collectively, we found the right way to bring this story to a fitting close.
